Chapter 156: Master Lou

Lou Wuye came to his senses when he returned home, and at this time he also figured out that Mrs. Xu knew her details from the beginning, and people were basically targeting the Lou family.

There was such a big thing in Zhenyuan City, Lou Wuye didn't dare to hide it anymore, and reported to Lou Chuan, the eldest son of the Lou family, on 1510, and by the way, I also asked for instructions on the next step.

Four or five days later, Lou Dagongzi transferred a group of people from other places, and they were all deployed by Lou Wuye, and he was determined to destroy the Xu Mansion.

Almost overnight, more than a dozen grain stores in Zhenyuan City were all opened. Food prices have remained quite low, falling all the way below the all-time low of 18 penny. Lou Ji Grain Store was even more ruthless, directly hitting the price of one penny and sixty-one catties of rice, which was consumed by the Liang Ji Grain Store across the street.

When the price of Liang Ji's rice dropped to two cents a catty, it no longer fell.

Not only that, Lou Wuye also opened several other cloth shops, blacksmith shops, restaurants, and pawnshops in Xufu a few steps away from each opened the same storefront, the service is better than Xufu, and the price is more affordable than Xufu, and he wholeheartedly suppresses Xufu from the price.

Unfolding such a situation, the expected reaction of the Xu Mansion was not seen, but it made Huang Daozhou and He Cheng in the Zhenyuan County Yali very happy. The food crisis in the city is gone, and the business of the street shops seems to be much more prosperous, and the streets that used to be deserted all day have become a little more vibrant these days. By the way, a large amount of capital from the Lou family flowed into Zhenyuan, which more or less revitalized the economy of Zhenyuan City, and the number of coolies who went to the city to beg for a living and the people who came to settle in Zhenyuan also increased.

And the-for-tat Xu Mansion did not react. Even if the two cloth shops were robbed of business by Lou Ji next door, and there was not a single customer in the store from opening to closing, Liang Ji's store still opened and closed on time, and even the guys in the store were idle and asleep, and Xu Fu had no intention of convincing and suing for peace.

On the contrary, Lou Ji's stores are doing quite prosperous business, with more than 10,000 taels of silver coming in and out every day, however, only Lou Wuye himself knows that Lou Ji is purely losing money and making money, and the endless flow of customers every day is a money-losing business, which makes Liang Ji very miserable, but his own books are also losing money.

Just insisted on it for a month, seeing that the New Year was approaching, and there were more and more customers who came to the store to prepare New Year's goods, Lou Wuye felt that he couldn't explain to the elders of Loujiabao if he continued to operate at such a low price, and at the same time he was very strange about Xu Fu's silent approach, so he immediately arranged for people to carefully stare at a few stores in Xu Fu, wanting to see what Xu Fu's stores rely on to maintain operations.

After some open investigation and secret visits, Lou Wuye suddenly realized that according to Xu Fu's approach, even if the goods in the entire Zhenyuan City were sent out in vain, Xu Fu could not be suppressed.

Because Xufu's shop pΓΉ is not a normal business.

For example, the two cloth shops in Xufu, Lou Wuye can see a lot of cloth in the store, and people will cut clothes directly in the store, and sell them now, although the store can't sell ten pieces of clothing in a month, but I don't see the backlog of goods in the cloth store, and the cloth is still coming in one car after another.

Another example is the pawnshop in Xufu, the ordinary pawnshops pawn things that are at least worth a little money, relying on the fact that if others don't have money to redeem them, the pawnshop can also sell things at a good price. But the pawnshop of the Xu Mansion did not do this, according to the observation of the guys sent out by the fifth master of the building, the pawnshop of the Xu Mansion seemed to be able to do anything. What a broken iron pot, a rusty hoe, a blunt sickle, an old quilt, an old clothes, in short, anything can be taken there to exchange for money, a good pawn shop actually let the people of Xu Mansion run a rag.

What's even more weird is the Liang Ji grain store opposite Lou Kee, the Mrs. Xu who is sitting in the store doesn't seem to want to make money by selling grain at all, and when the price of rice in the surrounding grain points has dropped to less than two cents, Liang Ji still does not reduce the price, not only does not reduce the price, but also arranges people to go to the Lou Ji grain store to buy a large sum of money directly, buy it from the Lou Ji store in a grand manner, and then walk through the street and carry it directly into the Liang Ji grain store, buy it in a grand manner, and sell it in a grand manner.

It's so immoral! Lou Wuye was angry enough when he found out. I wanted to go all out to lower the price but was afraid that Liang Ji would buy it aggressively, so Liang Ji picked up a big bargain, and if he didn't suppress it, he couldn't suppress Liang Ji's business. It's really ruthless and ruthless, loose and loose, and the fifth master of Lou is so entangled.

In short, although the names of several stores in Liang Ji are no different from those of others, the approach is very different, it seems that Xu Liang, the former governor of the former county of the town, did not think about doing business to make money at all, and deliberately opened a few stores to disgust the eldest son of the Lou family.

Lou Wuye gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless. In desperation, Lou Wuye told Lou Chuan, the eldest son of the Lou family, about these situations.

Lou Chuan, the eldest son of the Lou family, thinks that he is talented, and his business talent and power are unmatched. It has always been smooth sailing in Shaanxi, but as long as the eldest son of Lou speaks, there is basically nothing that cannot be done. But in the matter of Xu Liang, the governor of Zhenyuan County, Hu Tingyan's approach made Lou Dagongzi very unhappy. His original intention was to make that sesame official Xu Liang ruined, and it was best to take the initiative to kneel down and beg him to let him go. As a result, the governor's yamen only put Xu Liang's officials, and he did not even erase his rank, and it seemed that he was ready to make a comeback at any time. Seeing this, Mr. Lou wanted to teach Zhenyuan County a lesson, so that the adults in Shaanxi would know and know Mr. Lou's attitude.

That's why he had to come up with this desperate plan to close the city's grain stores, forcing the Zhenyuan County Government to bow his head. As a result, it has been going back and forth for almost two months, and a lot of money has been spent, but the effect is nothing.

In the room in the backyard of Lou Ji Grain Store, Lou Wuye lowered his head and stood in front of Lou Gongzi, as obedient as a kitten, and he didn't even dare to come out.

The eldest son of the Lou family's face sank like water, and the dark red birthmark on the bridge of his nose turned purple at this time. Lou Wuye was even more nervous when he saw this, he had worked under Lou Chuan's men for many years, and he was familiar with this lord's temper.

"Stop." The cold voice of the building boat seemed to come out of the ground, without a trace of human breath.

"The little ones are here." Fifth Master Lou bowed his waist, squeezed out a smiling face, and said respectfully.

"You've been working in the Lou family for almost thirty years, right?"

"If you go back to the eldest prince, it will be a full thirty years by October this year." Lou Wuye replied cautiously, his back was already nervous and sweating.

Lou Chuan glanced at Lou Wuye, snorted coldly, and said: "I have been practicing in the Lou family for more than 30 years, and I am said to be the old man of the Lou family." But even Xu Liang, who has lost his official position, can't be even, have you lived to a dog for the past 30 years! ”

Lou Chuan scolded very badly, but Lou Wuye didn't dare to refute in the slightest. In the weather of December, the cold wind outside the house was biting, although the stove was lit in the house, it was also cool, and Lou Wuye's face was sweating like rain at this time.

He was silent for a long time, quickly organizing the reason for exculpation in his heart, and explained in a low voice with a bitter face: "The eldest prince, it's not that the small ones are not dedicated, but this Xu Liang is different from ordinary sesame petty officials. ”

"What's the difference?" Lou Chuan snorted coldly.

Lou Wuye bent his waist even more sharply, wiped the sweat on his head and said: "Although this Xu Liang was dismissed, he has a very good relationship with the Huang Patrol of the Inspection Division. A while ago, a new group of people arrived from Jianchang, and I heard that it was Xu Liang's old subordinates who were originally in Jianchang...... Ahem, there are many people in the Xu Mansion, and it is really not easy to bring him down. ”

"According to what you say, this Xu Liang is quite powerful?"

"Yes, at least in Zhenyuan City, the current Xu Mansion is a big family." Lou Wuye said cautiously.

Lou Chuan got up and groaned and walked two steps, paused, stared at Lou Wuye and said: "Our Lou Jiabao has never been a good man and a woman, since it is obviously not easy to deal with, it can always be done in secret." Among the people sent to you by this son are masters of assassination, and this son will give you three more days, and after three days, this son will hear the death of Xu Liang and his wife. ”

Lou Wuye trembled when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at Lou Chuan in horror, and saw that Lou Chuan was full of resentment, so he had to give up his hand. Thinking that the delicate Mrs. Xu was about to die, she secretly said a pity, hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "Eldest prince, that Xu Liang is so ignorant, he offended Loujiabao, and he is really innocent." It's just that this Xu Liang died and died, but it's a pity that the lady who is like a flower and jade, the little one has seen two sides, and she is really a beautiful woman in the world. ”

"Oh?" Lou Zhou said in surprise: "Xu Liang's wife is really as beautiful as you say?" ”

"Absolutely, more than ever." Seeing that Lou Gongzi was interested, Lou Wuye hurriedly said, and pointed to the silent second shopkeeper Wu Side and said: "This Mrs. Xu's appearance, Wu Shopkeeper has also seen it. ”

Mr. Lou glanced at Wu Side. Wu Side arched his hand and said: "It is indeed as the fifth master said. ”

Mr. Lou's eyes flickered for a while, and the paper fan in his hand was closed, and he said, "Let's go, take this son to take a look." ”

The business of Liang Ji Grain Store is already taken care of by specially invited shopkeepers, and Feng Suqin just goes around the store every few days and looks through the accounts, and is not usually in the store.

On this day, Feng Suqin, as usual, took a carriage with Yahuan Chun'er and came to Liang Ji Grain Store. The carriage stopped at the door of Liang Ji Store, Yahuan Chun'er got out of the car first, and then Feng Suqin also came down with the guardrail of the car. Feng Suqin wore a set of newly customized brocade robes today, covered with a lake-green armor, the long hair of the black crow crow was tied together on his head, and he wore it with a silver hairpin with a hollow phoenix pattern, and the long hair naturally hung down along the shoulders to the waist. Liang Ji's shopkeeper got the news early, and greeted him out of the store diligently, accompanied Feng Suqin's master and servant into the store, and reported something as he walked.

And in a carriage with a curtain hanging on the street in front of Lou Ji Grain Store, Lou Wuye pointed to Feng Suqin's figure to show Lou Gongzi.

Mr. Lou's eyes stared straight at the beautiful shadow, and it wasn't until Feng Suqin entered the store that he retracted his gaze unfinished, shook the paper fan lightly, and pointed in the direction of Liang Ji's store, saying: "Such a beauty, wouldn't it be wronged to follow the death of the surname Xu, Lou Zhi, find a way to get back to Loujiabao." ”

"Huh." Fifth Master Lou nodded in response.
